Liverpool is set to visit St James Park this Sunday afternoon in pursuit of their inaugural away victory against Newcastle. Newcastle suffered a defeat at the hands of Manchester City at Etihad Stadium last weekend.
In their most recent Premier League outing, Liverpool secured a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth, positioning them in the top 5 of the EPL standings, just behind Brentford.
Klopp is likely to omit Thiago Alcantara from his squad to face Newcastle, as he’s still on the path to full recovery from his hip injury. The Spanish star is nearing the end of his rehabilitation program for the hip issue. As a result, Stefan Bajcetic could step in as a potential replacement.
Trent Alexander-Arnold might also find himself absent from Klopp’s lineup due to a knock he sustained while contesting possession with a Bournemouth player last weekend. This incident forced him to leave the pitch around the 76-minute mark.
Curtis Jones was unable to participate in his team’s match against Bournemouth last weekend because of an ankle problem. However, there is a strong likelihood that he will be ready and available for the match against Newcastle, as he has shown significant progress in his recovery.
Additionally, Mac Allister is expected to be eligible for selection, as the Cherries’ red card suspension appeal has been successfully overturned.
